Better Than Butter
Even though I have self-published three books, I have never entered a writing contest. I give credit to my best friend, Olivia for referring the contest for You Are Enough hosted by Positive Writer. She is one of those friends who never thinks she is good enough, yet makes me feel like a million bucks. And so, I am participating in this contest, not to win, but to show her, we are all good enough. And because she is an "in-the-closet" writer doesn't make her any less of one. Just yesterday, after talking to one of my writer friends, he told me he was giving up on love. My heart cracked. A truly loving, caring man, who listens to my concerns and tears, confesses his surrender to loneliness. After sending him a virtual hug and telling him he deserves love, I sent him off into the day with this, "I'll pray your heart stays soft like butter." He reassured me he would be weary of knives, toast and biscuits. I told him love is all on how you spread it.
